Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is working to drive a wedge between the United States and Europe, using fears over American commitment to the region as a way to keep his war effort afloat. Speaking at the Munich Security Conference, he pushed the idea that Europe needs its own military force, separate from NATO, to ensure its future security. He is now attempting to convince leaders that they must form a European Army to protect themselves from future threats, bypassing the U.S. and NATO.

The grifting dictator has finally been cut adrift. Trump knows Zelenskyy is a corrupt puppet.
Pity the Australian parliament and media feted such a crook. https://t.co/zY9nSyLGq9

Zelenskyy’s remarks come at a time when Washington’s support for Ukraine is waning. With President Donald Trump prioritizing negotiations instead of endless funding, Zelenskyy has turned to a new strategy — convincing European leaders that the U.S. cannot be trusted. By doing so, he hopes to secure continued military aid and sidestep any peace agreements that would end the war.

Vladimir Zelenskyy is claiming that Putin bombed Chernobyl last night. This is after Trump and Putin agreed on peace talks. For some reason I don't believe him, I wonder why?…

His call for a European Army is a shift from previous EU policy, where leaders insisted that NATO was the cornerstone of continental security. Now, Zelenskyy is using fears about U.S. disengagement to push Europe into a deeper military commitment, ensuring that his war does not run out of funding or weapons.

Trump just said that he wants the money from Ukraine back.
THAT is the attitude we need running our country.
Zelenskyy is a grifting animal.
Get our money BACK from that hack! pic.twitter.com/4RNS5frh8b

Right. For the last 4 years, we paid taxes, our politicians sent it to Zelenskyy, and then he sent some of it back to those politicians. Or am I missing something?

The timing of this proposal is no coincidence. As Vice President JD Vance met with Zelenskyy, he did not offer additional guarantees of U.S. military aid, making it clear that Ukraine cannot rely on endless American support. This shift has forced Zelenskyy to change tactics, trying to pull European nations into his war effort by casting doubt on Washington’s reliability.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk appeared open to Zelenskyy’s proposal, but others in Europe are wary of committing to a new military structure that could bypass NATO. European leaders have already seen how billions in aid to Ukraine have been mismanaged, with Western weapons appearing on the black market and corruption rampant within Zelenskyy’s government.
As President Trump continues to push for negotiations, Zelenskyy remains determined to avoid peace. His demand for a European Army is not about securing Europe — it is about keeping his war going, even if it means deepening divisions between the U.S. and its European allies.
